Even after this weeks' action, the Packers are still ranked
below the Patriots. But the Packers did manage to close much of
the gap, and they're a long ways above the #3 Steelers.

I'm a little surprised APR moved the Bears up after beating the
Seahawks. Usually, even on a win, playing such a low-ranked team
pulls the power index down. They did move up the least amount of
any winning team this weekend.

There's not much else to say about the rankings this week; they
seem pretty reasonable to me (compare
with last
year, which had the 8-8 Panthers at the #2 spot.
